The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street
In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

Brahms - Vier klavierstücke op 119
on: February 13, 2008, 07:05:09 PM
from a lunchtime recital I did with a violinist recently. We played Grazyna Bacewicz's fourth violin sonata and a berceuse by Fauré and I ended with op 119. The piano was pretty awful though - very hard to control in dynamics under mf, and none of that soft sound that you want for these pieces...worked much better for the Bacewicz sonata - a work with lots of drama and FF's...oh well. Now that I've learned this opus, it's time to start with the Handel variations! What incredible music...
